At The Key, we believe that promoting reflective practice will have the most significant impact on staff development, and thus pupil outcomes. Detailed in this page is an overview of the framework and models that we utilise in order to understand and promote reflective learning amongst our staff team.

At The Key, we have developed a culture of learning and productive mistake making, that encourages our staff team develop their practice, safe in the knowledge that change is a necessary aspect of learning, both at an individual and organisational level. We utilise various reflective frameworks, such as the ABC+C model, to help support staff in this process, offering valuable insights the pupil's behaviour.

As described previously, the next phase of our ATIP training will be to promote reflective practice further in our staff team, by utilising concepts of Critical Reflection (see Brookfield and Fook & Gardner), which recognises the impact of our own experiences on the way that we understand and interpret the world and seeks to uncover our values and assumptions, in order to improve our practice.
